My writing Procedure.
I am a fast writer, and when I mean fast, I can quickly spit out a 500-page novel in two weeks.
A lot of people asked me how I write so fast. And many speculated that if you write a story that quickly, It cannot be good.
To answer your questions efficiently, every author has their own pace regarding creativity and speed when it comes to writing. You just need to find yours.
When I wrote Hinder, which is part of the Bender series in the Guardian of Monsters, it literally took me two weeks to spit out 442 pages.
But when I say I wrote it in two weeks didn't mean it took me two weeks to plot, outline, and create the characters. It took me two weeks to start typing the first word until the last page, and I literally sat for two weeks on my butt and typed for eight hours or more every day.
It took me almost a year to finally get the concept ready for Hinder, working out all the quirks and developing the characters, and that is where I spend my time. I'm not a pantser, meaning that I sit behind a computer and start typing away as if there is no tomorrow and let my characters lead me on a journey. No, my characters are and always will be a figment of my imagination. They do as I tell them to, and I take them on a journey.
So if you hear authors speaking about how they can write fast, write a book quickly in a month, it doesn't mean that they conducted the story fast. Like I said, Hinder took me about a year and a half to work everything out to the point before I started to write it. I spend a lot of time developing a story, but the story's writing part can easily take two weeks.
And that is how I write. I'm through and through a plotter.
